This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Robert Shelton Mackenzie was born on June 22, 1809, at Drew's Court, County Limerick, Ireland. He was the second son of Capt. Kenneth Mackenzie of the Kaithness Fencibles, later postmaster of the small military town of Fermoy.
His mother was Maria (Shelton) Mackenzie.
Robert received his early education at Fermoy and taught school there in 1825.
Before Mackenzie reached his majority he had become editor of a county journal at Hanley, Staffordsville, England, thus beginning a career in newspaper work which lasted until his death. In 1830-31, he wrote a large number of biographies for the Georgian Era. From 1831 to 1833, he conducted the Derbyshire Courier and shortly thereafter became editor of the Liverpool Journal.
In 1834, he was appointed English correspondent of the New York Evening Star and is said to have been the first paid European correspondent of any American paper. To the Star, he contributed letters on politics, literature, fashion, and gossip of high life until 1851.
During this period, he was also connected with the Liverpool Mail and (from about 1840 to 1843) with the Salopian Journal in Shrewsbury. The statement is made in biographical sketches published during his lifetime that he received the degree of D. C. L. from Oxford in 1844, but there is no record of it at the University.
From 1845 to 1851, he is variously stated to have been editor of a railway journal in London and the London secretary of a railway company. In 1848, he was active in securing publicity in the London Sun and the weekly Times for Lord Brougham's Law Amendment Society, in recognition of which service he was appointed by Brougham official assignee of the Manchester bankruptcy court, an appointment which came to an end in October 1852.
Because of financial difficulties, after the premature death of his wife in 1852, Mackenzie came to New York, where for a time he was a literary editor and political writer on a daily, and music and dramatic critic for a Sunday paper. In July 1857, he removed to Philadelphia and in August, upon the establishment of the Philadelphia Press, became its literary and foreign editor and dramatic critic. This position he retained for over twenty years.
In 1862, he was one of the organizers of the Philadelphia Dental College and became its secretary. Toward the end of his life, he was literary editor of the Philadelphia Evening News. He died on November 21, 1881, and was buried in Philadelphia.

Mackenzie seems not to have taken too seriously his relation of literary god-father to these works and the introductions are often perfunctory. They are useful chiefly as indicating that his name on the title-page of a book had commercial value.
In 1851, Mackenzie married Georgiana Dickinson, by whom he had one child. In 1858, he married, in Philadelphia, Adelheid Zwissler (the author of several romances), by whom he had three children.
